Diode rectifier has many low order harmonics in line currents. So, power factor of input side is relatively low. Recently, PWM conveters have been actively studied in order to reduce the harmonics. This paper describes a voltage source PWM rectifier with feed-forward compensation of instantaneous load power. By adding feed-forward compensation to dc link voltage control loop, the fluctuation of dc link voltage at a sudden load change can be considerably suppressed. Simulation based on analytical approach Was performed and the results of it showed a good agreement with theory.

In most railway vehicle applications, a single phase AC/DC converter is used greatly and is essential equipment for Korea High Speed Train. A diode bridge rectifier and a phase-controlled thyristor bridge rectifier generate harmonics in power system. Nowadays, power factor and harmonics become major issue in electrical equipment for railway vehicle. Many researchers have been trying to improve the power factor and ac-side harmonics. Therefore the PWM converter is used to operate at unity Power factor and to reduce ac-side current harmonics. This paper describes the circuit for AC/DC PWM converter of Korea High Speed Train and proposes control algorithm to realize the sinusolidal input current waveform and the effective unity power factor. The validity of the proposed control method is verified through the experimental result.

This paper proposes a improvement of switching converter's input wave form using VIENNA Rectifier(three-phase three-switch three-level PWM Rectifier). VIENNA Rectifier is based on the combination of a three-phase diode bridge and dc/dc boost converter. It can be available to get sinusoidal mains current, and low-blocking voltage stress on rower transistors. In addition, it can control output voltage.

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter with a parallel-series transformer connection in order to achieve ripple current reduction at the output capacitor, zero voltage turn-on for the active switches, zero current turn-off for the rectifier diodes, less voltage stress on the rectifier diodes, and less current stress on the transformer primary windings. The primary windings of the two transformers are connected in parallel in order to share the input current and to reduce the root-mean-square (rms) current on the primary windings. The secondary windings of the two transformers are connected in series in order to ensure that the transformer primary currents are balanced. A full-wave diode rectifier is used at the output side to clamp the voltage stress of the rectifier diode at the output voltage. Two circuit modules are operated with the interleaved PWM scheme so that the input and output ripple currents are reduced. Based on the resonant behavior, all of the active switches are turned on under zero voltage switching (ZVS), and the rectifier diodes are turned off under zero current switching (ZCS) if the operating switching frequency is less than the series resonant frequency. Finally, experiments with a 1kW prototype are described to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

본 연구는 밸리-필 정류기를 이용한 전류 THD 개선 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 회로는 밸리-필 정류기와 부스팅 인덕터를 결합한 구조를 가지며, AC/DC 변환과 PFC를 동시에 수행한다. PWM 스위칭에 따른 부스팅 효과로 입력전류를 제어하여 밸리-필 정류기의 특성을 개선한다. 이 결과는 낮은 전류 THD를 보장한다. 동작 모드와 전류 THD를 분석하고, 최적 부스팅 인덕터를 결정한다. 밸리-필 정류기와 부스팅 인덕터를 채용한 100[W] AC/DC 컨버터를 제작하였고, 시뮬레이션과 실험으로 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문은 단상 반파 PWM 정류기와 3상 2-leg 인버터를 결합한 단상-삼상 컨버터 회로에서 전원전압의 센서를 제거하여 3상 유도전동기를 저가형으로 구동하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 전원전압의 센서를 제거하기 위해 전원 전류의 실측치와 제어기 내의 모델전류가 일치하도록 관측기를 구성하여 전원전압을 추정한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법을 사용할 경우 스위칭 소자와 센서 수를 줄이면서 직류전압 일정제어, 입력전류의 정현제어 및 단위 역률 제어가 가능하고 VVVF 교류전압을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 3[Hp]의 3상 유도전동기의 V/f 구동에 적용한 실험결과로 제시된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증한다.

A high-performance rectifier is introduced in this study. The proposed rectifier combines the conventional pulse width modulation, soft commutation, and instantaneously average line current control techniques to promote circuit performance. The voltage stresses of the main switches in the rectifier are lower than those in conventional rectifier topologies. Moreover, conduction losses of switches in the rectifier are certainly lower than those in conventional rectifier topologies because the power current flow path when the main switches are turned on includes two main power semiconductors and the power current flow path when the main switches are turned off includes one main power semiconductor. The rectifier also adopts a ZCS-PWM auxiliary circuit to derive the ZCS function for power semiconductors. Thus, the problem of switching losses and EMI can be improved. In the control strategy, the controller uses the average current control mode to achieve fixed-frequency current control with stability and low distortion. A prototype has been implemented in the laboratory to verify circuit theory.

대용량 반도체 소자인 IGCT를 사용하여 철도차량용 AC-to-DC 단상 PWM 컨버터를 제작 실험하였다. 컨버터의 용량을 향상시키기 위해 2대의 PWM 컨버터를 병렬 운전하였으며 병렬운전시 각각의 컨버터 스위칭각을 다르게 제어하여 각 컨버터의 전류 리플을 상쇄시켜 전원의 고조파 함유를 줄였다. 출력전압제어는 입력전류의 측정 없이 내부 계산에 의해 수행하였으며 단위역률을 제어하기 위해 소프트웨어적으로 간단히 PLL을 수행하였다.

A new design method for the LCL filters of three-phase voltage source PWM rectifiers is presented in this paper. Based on the single-phase harmonic equivalent model, the harmonic voltage of the rectifier side is calculated to design the LCL filter parameters by an iterative algorithm, in which the resonance frequency $f_{res}$ and the ratio r between the grid-side inductance and the rectifier-side inductance are selected as known constants. The design criteria and process are introduced and the influence on the design result by the value of the resonance frequency $f_{res}$, ratio r is analyzed. Finally an example (600V, 500kW) is tested by simulation and experiment to verify the validity of the new design method.
